The World - News from March 18, 1985

Two weeks after a devastating earthquake killed more than 140 people, central Chile was struck by a powerful tremor that sent thousands of terrified Chileans into the street in their night clothes. The temblor, measured at 6.0 on the Richter scale, was centered 12 miles offshore from the Pacific port of Valparaiso. Officials said the only reported casualty was a 30-year-old woman who died of a heart attack. Left homeless by the March 3 quake, the nation’s worst in 25 years, she was staying in a school being used as a shelter.
